Use

Using the trimmer

Trimming your beard and moustache

1. Apply a few drops of the oil to the blades. (See page 6.)

2. Turn the dial to move the comb attachment to the desired trimming length (between 1 mm and 20 mm).

Indicator	Trimming length	Indicator	Trimming length
1 1.0	mm 11	11.0 mm
2 2.0	mm · 1	2.5 mm
·3.5	mm 14	14.0 mm
5 5.0	mm · 1	5.5 mm

·9.5	mm 20	20.0 mm

1. Slide the switch on the main body upwards to turn on the trimmer.

2. Place the angled face of the comb against the skin and cut the beard by moving the trimmer in all directions to obtain a uniform cut.

With curly facial hair, the comb attachment may not cut all of the hair. In this case, remove the comb attachment and use a conventional comb to draw out the remaining uncut hair.

Shaping your moustache

1. Remove the comb attachment.
2. Place the angled edge against the skin and make the border of the beard even.

Using the thinning function

1. Slide the thinning plate upwards until it clicks.

1. Run the trimmer slowly across the head as if combing the hair with applying the blade point at right angles (90^) to the hair.

2. Thin the hair gradually while checking the overall balance.

1. Push the thinning plate lock button to slide the thinning plate back.

Notes for thinning

• Slide the thinning plate upwards until it clicks. Incorrect setting may result in excessive cutting.
• If a difference in level is produced, lightly thin to compensate.
• If thick and thin portions are produced, or if there are portions with an excessive amount of hair, thin the appropriate portions to compensate.

Cutting of hair

Cut hair to the correct height by moving the trimmer back against the flow of the hair.
- Do not use the trimmer in an inverted position. This can cut hair too deeply.

Cutting around the ears

Cut a little, and then gently separate the trimmer from the hair.

Cutting the nape of the neck

Bring the trimmer gently away from the hair to finish.
